What racquet does Vasek Pospisil use and what are the specs?
I know he string sat 50pounds with alu power and natural gut i think.

He's used the six one 95 series for a long time, 18x20 pattern, with some lead at 9-10 and 2-3. I've seen him up close in Montreal. But I don't know the exact weight / swingweight of his racquet.

is that Wilson racket like the best racket for serving ?

No, the Blade used by Raonic is even better. :)
I don't know what's up with our Canadian guys...
They must have an amazing serve coach at that training center there in Montreal.

There is no such thing..

Goodness, do you even play tennis?

Actually there probably is. If you could create a racquet that provided the most help serving, it would probably be strung loosely, extended handle, very tight string pattern, very head heavy, not an expert in racquets but some racquets are good for serving, some very solid on volleys but dont have lots of pop form the baseline.

Which racquet is better for serving, a 105inch granny racquet or a wilson blade?

Point proven.

Why do tennis warehouse rate racquets on serve, volleys, groundies, etc. Could it be that some racquets feel better on the serve whilst others have great spin potential and pop on groundies?

Those are loaded questions.

You didnt answer them though! :)

If one was to create a prototype racquet that a robot would swing in a perfect textbook service motion. It would be made in a way that would benefit the serve and only that, spin, power, control ,the right string tension, the right headsize, the right balance to hit the most powerful and spin loaded serve.

That would be the best serving racquet. Now go away and think about what you have learned! :)

Yet, a very head light racquet with an open string pattern and short handle, like the PS 6.0 85, strung tightly is awesome for serving. :)

He's used the six one 95 series for a long time, 18x20 pattern, with some lead at 9-10 and 2-3.

Here is a picture of his racket taken in June 2012:

At the time, he was using a 16x18 string pattern and his string setup was:

Mains - Luxilon Big Banger Alu Power @ 47.0 LBS
Crosses - Wilson NXT Max 16 @ 47.0 LBS

It appears that he has now changed to an 18x20 pattern and his crosses to Wilson Natural Gut 17. He is also now specifying his tension in KGS.

Hope this can be of help,
